vike daddy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 While the NFL continues to use the century-old sticks-and-chain method to measure for first downs, the UFL is employing high-tech tools. The new United Football League, which kicked off its inaugural season today, employs something called TrU Line Technology, an advanced optical tracking system that works by installing six calibrated 4K cameras around each stadium. The league says that the 4K cameras can measure whether a football reached the line to gain more quickly and more accurately than the longstanding method of the officials spotting the ball with the naked eye and the chain gang measuring whether the offense advanced 10 yards. UFL: “This innovative technology promises to deliver ball-spotting with unprecedentedly low latency and high accuracy, setting a new standard in sports technology and fan engagement. This partnership marks a significant leap forward in the league’s commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of the game and its fans.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ufl-uses-six-4k-cameras-not-two-sticks-and-a-chain-to-measure-for-first-downs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'm all for that, well done UFL. Hopefully the NFL follows suit soon should it work as expected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a lot of teams are making trades for future draft capital. Lots of teams are always potentially disillusioned with the current draft whenever they make trades. They are just like us, they have visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads about the players that potentially will be available the next year.

SemperFeist Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I really wonder if Diggs even knows what he wants. He was unhappy in Minnesota because he didn’t like being seen as second fiddle to Adam Thielen. He was unhappy in Buffalo despite being the unquestioned #1 receiver. Now he’s going to Houston where they already have a pretty good stable of wide receivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 So…they traded a top 50 pick for a one year rental of a 30 year old wide receiver? Can’t say I see the logic in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
